Cody Johnson The Mustang
[Verse 1]
I used to run just like a mustang with my head down in the wind
Had a pace to fast to recognize the places that I've been
Living up my years of freedom like the words to a song
I found myself beliving that I can make it on my own
'Till I wound up on my knees one night on the side of the road
Where I cried and said "I'm willing", where you lead me I will go
I was finally tired of running wild across these lonely plains
I surrendered all I had and let the master take the reigns
[Chorus]
And now I'm free
I'm not scared and I'm not running, I'm right wherе I'm supposed to be
Yes, I'm free
I know from ovеr there it might look like captivity
But on this side of the fence it feels like free
[Verse 2]
Often looked upon as beauty when the mustang runs and bucks
Some criticize the ones we ride and pull behind our trucks
But they were put here with the purpose that the wild ones were yet to find
Like me, they just need breaking down to open up their eyes
[Chorus]
You see I'm free
I'm not scared and I'm not running, I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Yes, I'm free
I know from over there it might look like captivity
But on this side of the fence it feels like free
[Verse 3]
Now who's to say the mustang won't be better off this way
Having someone he can count on so he don't go astray
He don't sleep with one eye open, he's found peace within these bounds
And I've found a life like this is every bit worth settling down
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm free
I'm not scared and I'm not running, I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Yes, I'm free
I know from over there it might look like captivity
But on this side of the fence it feels like free
[Outro]
Oh, I know I'm free
